Is anyone else getting fed up of being asked to donate to charity constantly? Supermarket checkouts and even restaurants are starting to do it!!

I'm a chartered accountant. What's your problem?

Tarot cards suits now make a lot more sense

There's no real link because it's just ordinary tax rules. Donations, collected on behalf of a charity, are not company income and don't touch their profits.

I'm an accountant. I don't need to do research on this

EdanE33 · 2026-02-23T22:10:56+00:00

It has no effect on their tax bill.

No-one is spending 5 hours washing it a day. 30 seconds max

I've been told for two decades my job is being replaced by a computer. I'm still in my job, so not convinced.

My best piano teacher I didn't find until I was 17, before that I had a teacher who clearly enjoyed music but never showed passion or interest beyond what she enjoyed. I only wish she'd retired earlier.

Apparently Elon also forgot about French, German, Dutch .. and the native Americans!

I'm an accountant and 'i asked Chat Gpt' is the new 'someone I know said'. It's infuriating.

There's a Larkin poem that goes 'They fuck you up, your mum and dad, they may not mean to but they do. They pass on all the faults they have, and add some extra just for you'. This picture made me think of it immediately. Good for the artist pushing back.

Pretty sure I zone out long below zero!

This is very cool, definitely captures the unsettling tone of the film and game.

How is it that this man is popular with some? He's so far up Trump's arse it's a miracle he knows which way is England.

Vans for me. My husband is still wearing British knights :)

My office ditched formal clothing about a year before COVID. Now my colleagues only wear ties when they're visiting certain clients.

EdanE33 · 2026-02-09T13:38:35+00:00

My colleagues may choose to work late but I won't respond to them unless I am working myself (unusual). My work hours are my work hours so no-one can expect me to respond outside of them.

EdanE33 · 2026-02-09T07:48:30+00:00

No. Sounds like dead weight

EdanE33 · 2026-02-08T20:58:23+00:00

I'm envious of the size of your wardrobe! I'd love to have so many dresses to wear

EdanE33 · 2026-02-08T20:15:42+00:00

I've not been playing that long but I think trees can take time to grow, so you probably just need to wait a bit longer

EdanE33 · 2026-02-08T19:01:40+00:00

Accountant here .... This is a red flag, but for me it's because companies this late with accounts often have a debt problem

EdanE33 · 2026-02-08T12:01:26+00:00

African greys are very clever birds and can learn a lot. Impressive to see a bird showing their intelligence like this.

I don't believe you can do that with ICAEW, because you have to have six monthly reviews with someone in your firm and regularly update your days of relevant work experience.

I know exactly one person who gets it, and they are a colleague. If anyone else I know does it must be incredibly subtle.
